[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 711821, member: 4152"] At the risk of boring the you know what out of most of you and beating a dead horse....lololol So my friend of thirty years calls and it seems one of her adult children is pregnant but doesn't wish to tell the extended family at this time...wishes to wait three months. Just the parents and siblings. No aunts, grandparents etc. I understand this part. So my friend calls and says the following "I'm calling you and telling you the news because I just had to tell somebody and since you don't know anybody I figure it's safe." She just seems way offfff to me. On one hand I understand, on the other hand...a weird thing to say. It might be I don't "know anybody" especially of late because I don't get invited to anything. My husband said it's like we are people you've just hired to paint your house...it just feels extraordinary weird and a little RUDE. yuck I started to say something and she cut me off and said "well, you know, you don't get to see my extended family...so you wont have an opportunity to tell them by accident...." I just nicely got off the phone. It's so obvious that when my husband started doing well with his work, we started to get this odd treatment. Yet, they've enjoyed decades of special privleges...long story....and it never bothered us at all. WTH Ok...I will let it go. Life is weird sometimes. [/QUOTE]
